THE    WORLD,    as    established    by 
JOSEPH  PULITZER,  May  10,  1883 

"An  institution  that  should  always  fight  for  progress  and  re- 
form, never  tolerate  injustice  or  corruption,  always  fight  dema- 
gogues of  all  parties,  never  belong  to  any  party,  always  oppose 
privileged  classes  and  public  plunderers,  never  lack  sympathy 
with  the  poor,  always  remain  devoted  to  the  public  welfare, 
never  be  satisfied  with  merely  printins;  news,  always  be  drasti- 
cally independent,  never  be  afraid  to  attack  wrong,  whether  by 
predatory  plutocracy  or  predatory  poverty." 


A  Word  About  The  World 

''First  in  Public  Service"  -^^f 

^  U/36 

X  y 

THE  NEW  YORK  WORLD  is  more  than  a  first-class  newspaper. 
It  is  the  most  independent,  the  most  courageous  and  the  most  dis- 
interested publication  in  the  country.  In  the  true  sense  of  the 
word,  it  is  the  most  ably  edited  paper  in  the  United  States.  It  is  free;  it 
is  bold ;  it  is  scrupulously  honest ;  it  is  the  one  paper  in  the  United  States 
that  actually  devotes  itself  to  the  public  service. 

The  World  does  not  believe  that  all  the  news  that  is  fit  to  print  is 
worth  reading.  It  does  not  compete  with  volume,  but  excels  in  values. 
All  essential  occurrences  The  World  presents  in  compact,  accurate  form. 
It  is  concerned  with  facts  rather  than  with  opinion  or  detail.  A  World 
reader  is  more  quickly,  more  deftly,  more  competently  informed  of  what 
has  happened  to  the  world  in  the  last  twenty-four  hours  than  is  the  reader 
of  any  other  New  York  newspaper.  What  every  man  and  woman  wants 
to  know,  The  World  tells — and  in  the  fewest  possible  words.  This  is 
the  triumph  of  the  art  of  able  editing. 

The  World  does  not  confuse  virtue  with  dulness.  It  is  written  to  be 
read.  It  is  neither  ponderous  nor  self-important.  It  tries  to  be  right 
and  is,  most  of  the  time,  but  is  not  afraid  to  admit  error.  It  is  interested 
in  people  and  believes  in  humanity.  It  is  friendly.  It  has  common  sense 
and  a  sense  of  humor.  Therefore  it  is  lively  and  entertaining.  It  is  a  sad 
day  in  which  there  are  not  several  laughs  in  The  World.  It  cherishes 
no  grouches — it  prefers  to  hope  for  the  best. 

The  World  is  never  content  with  merely  giving  the  news.  It  con- 
ceives itself  as  the  attorney  for  the  People.  It  abhors  injustice  and  dares 
expose  it.  It  can  be  depended  on  to  defend  the  oppressed.  Its  history 
is  a  catalogue  of  public  services.  Its  reputation  is  founded  on  the  fights 
it  has  made  against  the  enemies  of  the  common  weal.  The  consistent  foe 
of  misgovernment  and  corruption,  it  is  feared  more  by  political  tricksters 
and  spoilsmen  than  any  other  journal  in  America. 

It  was  The  World  that  exposed  the  oppressi\e  rings  of  extortionate 
builders  and  labor  blackmailers.  With  the  evidence  gathered  by  The 
World,  Samuel  Untermyer  conducted  his  famous  campaign  that  broke 


up  the  rings  and  sent  Brindell  to  jail.  It  was  The  World  that  tore  the 
mask  of  secrecy  off  the  Ku  Klux  Klan.  Relentlessly  it  revealed  this  sin- 
ister organization  spreading  the  poison  of  bigotry  and  racial  antagonism 
across  our  land.  It  was  the  campaign  for  disarmament  inaugurated  by 
The  World  that  first  gave  voice  to  the  cry  that  has  gone  ringing  around 
the  planet  for  the  cessation  of  competition  in  battleships.  Because  of 
the  conviction  roused  by  The  World's  insistent  campaign,  the  great  na- 
tions of  Europe  and  Asia  were  summoned  to  a  Disarmament  Conference 
in  Washington  in  November.  To  report  the  proceedings  of  this  most 
momentous  meeting  The  World  summoned  the  man  best  fitted  to  inter- 
pret its  issues,  the  famous  historian,  H.  G.  Wells. 

These  are  but  the  latest  instances  of  world  service  performed  in  the 
twelve  months  past,  but  they  indicate  why  American  journalism  con- 
cedes intellectual  and  moral  leadership  to  the  publication  that  was  founded 
by  Joseph  Pulitzer. 

The  World  is  clean.  It  does  not  pander  to  vice  or  to  crime.  It  is 
fair — it  has  neither  friends  nor  foes  in  public  places.  It  is  earnest  in  its 
effort  to  be  accurate  in  stating  the  facts  of  the  news.  It  has  no  purpose 
to  serve  save  to  tell  the  truth.  It  is  intrinsically  honest  and  believes  its 
integrity  is  conceded  even  by  those  it  has  attacked. 

The  characteristics  set  forth  here  are  rare  in  an  individual  and  still 
rarer  in  a  newspaper.  They  are  stated  without  boastfulness,  for  they  are 
no  more  than  a  record  of  facts.  They  represent  the  spirit  breathed  into 
a  journalistic  entity  by  the  ablest,  most  far-sighted  personality  that  Amer- 
ican journalism  has  produced.  His  thought,  his  message,  have  been  held 
inviolate  by  his  successors.  The  World  is  conducted  by  a  group  of  men 
who  are  devoted  to  the  ideals  it  stands  for  and  whose  hope  is  to  be  true 
to  the  faith  that  has  been  given  them.  World  men  know  that  they 
serve  a  paper  that  is  free  and  brave  and  they  are  proud  of  their  connec- 
tion with  an  institution  that  has  no  other  cause  to  serve  but  Truth  and 
the  Right.

The  World,  a  Forum 

The  World  has  received  from  time  to  time,  for  publi- 
cation in  its  columns,  communications  directly  from  distin- 
guished men  in  America  and  in  other  countries,  such  as  the  late 
Pope,  the  English  King,  the  British  Prime  Minister,  Jan  Smuts, 
John  Maynard  Keynes,  the  President  of  the  French  Republic, 
the  Prime  Minister  of  the  French  Republic,  the  President  of 
the  German  Republic,  the  Prime  Minister  of  Italy,  the  King  of 
the  Belgians,  the  Prime  Minister  of  the  Australian  Common- 
wealth, the  Prime  Minister  of  the  Dominion  of  Canada,  the 
Primate  of  England,  the  Emperor  of  Japan,  the  Prime  Minister 
and  Foreign  Ministers  of  Japan,  H.  G.  Wells,  George  Bernard 
Shaw. 

The  list  of  men  active  in  public  service  who  have  found 
The  World  a  helpful  pulpit  and  have  used  it  is  too  long  to  print 
here. 

Among  the  regular  contributors  on  foreign  politics  are  such 
men  as  Andre  Tardieu,  former  member  of  the  French  Cabinet ; 
George  N.  Barnes,  former  Minister  of  Labor  of  Great  Britain ; 
Maximilian  Harden,  famous  publicist  of  Germany.  The  value 
of  The  World's  columns  will  be  further  enhanced  by  contri- 
butions from  Georges  Clemenceau,  the  French  Prime  Minister, 
who  brought  his  nation  to  victory — "First  in  Public  Ser\ice."
